F1 finally goes smoke free – According to John McIlroy. Not sure about that – I’ve just looked up the name of the team who’s driver’s leading the title race and apparently they’re still called Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro…

Ferrari spying still an issue? – Ferrari’s nose leak (it sounds worse than it is) shows the team still have problems keeping their secrets to themselves.

About that hiatus… – Sidepodcast went off, got married (no, really!) and now they’re back in time for the rest of the season. Excellent news on both counts and congratulations to both of them!

Got an F1 blog I haven’t mentioned? Tell me about it. I will try and get back in the habit of doing this weekly because there’s a lot of good stuff out there.

great round up keith – I particularly like the two comparison articles from the telegraph. I am aware it’s tough in journalism when people use hindsight, but I’m afraid it does make Kevin Garside look like a bit of a pratt, don;t you think? I mean, it was pretty obvious that somebody big was going to say something like that, coz it was pretty obvious that the scandal was going to have that effect. Anyway, it’s nice that somebody actually admitted to it. Shame, as I think it would be really exciting for F1 to have Porsche or VW or Audi in the mix, perhaps help to make it a 4 way battle.
